Thermal - Multi Product - Measuring

Question 1

Thermal

Answer 1

Thermal image - red and green areas

Red=gain and lose the most amount of energy

40/40/20 rule - 40% energy gain and loss from attic, 40% from windows and doors, 20% from walls

Nothing to do about walls so we focus on the other 80%

So what are your energy bills like in the summer and winter?

Are you okay with us helping you out with that a bit?

Question 2

Cost of Energy

Answer 2

Reason I bring up energy is because it has been drastically on the rise

Electricity has gone up 24% in two years, natural gas gone up 76%

We can’t control the cost of it, but we can control the use of energy

Energy costs getting out of hand so government started giving tax credits - $250 per door (up to $500) and $1,200 for attic insulation

While I’m here I’ll see if you qualify

Question 3

Likes vs dislikes for their windows

Answer 3

Before I start measuring, odd question but what do you like about your windows?

• bring up natural light,
• bring up grids preference
• bring up HOA, are they strict?

Then make recommendation of the window color/style I suggest

Then bring up dislikes
-does it get hot in certain part of house/at certain time of day?
-ask how long they have noticed the issues
-make sure to keep asking for dislikes until they tell you everything (ammo for later)

Question 4

Why people replace their windows?

Answer 4

Functionality - locking, operating, etc

Aesthetics - curb appeal, how they look

Maintenance- painting, caulking, cleaning

Energy efficiency- bring up how much they pay for their monthly bill here during summer/winter

Question 5

Stock vs Custom

Answer 5

These two windows look the same right? They are actually a little different (one 1/4” taller, one 1/2” wider)

Two different kind of windows in the industry, stock and custom

Stock = great for new builds, mass produced, bought off shelf

For new builds they fit perfectly every time

Problem becomes when your house shifts and settles over time they no longer fit well

If too big = rip out drywall or shave down studs

If too small = shim around and pack in window, losing natural light

Stock window is not wrong, it’s just not right for your house in its life cycle

We do custom windows so we measure everything down to a 1/4” = perfect fit every time

Easier to make window fit your house than your house to fit a window

Did I explain everything okay?
